Libya: Islamic jihadists murder two soldiers in car bomb attack

“The government has struggled to consolidate control in the vast and mostly desert country, which is effectively ruled by a patchwork of local militias and awash in heavy weapons looted from Gathafi’s arsenals.” This is the Libya that Barack Obama has brought us. And it is only going to get worse.

BENGHAZI – A car bomb targeting a Libyan special forces barracks in the restive eastern city of Benghazi on Tuesday killed two soldiers and wounded another two, medical and military officials said.

The attack, which took place at the entrance to the barracks on road to the airport, appeared to have been carried out by a suicide car bomber, an army officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Benghazi was the cradle of the 2011 uprising that ended Moamer Gathafi’s four-decade rule and has since been plagued by violence that has killed dozens of members of the security forces, judges and foreigners.

According to the army officer, the blast killed two soldiers and wounded two more. An official at Benghazi’s Al-Jala hospital confirmed a death toll of two.

The government has struggled to consolidate control in the vast and mostly desert country, which is effectively ruled by a patchwork of local militias and awash in heavy weapons looted from Gathafi’s arsenals.
On December 22, a suicide car bomb targeting a security post 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Benghazi left 13 people dead.

Militants have also attacked foreign missions in Benghazi, including a September 2012 assault on the US consulate in the Mediterranean city that killed the ambassador and three other Americans.

Comments

The question still remains what the US agencies hoped to gain from supporting and initiating the overthrow of Gaddafi, who was cooperating with the West.

Also, what is the incentive for the US to support the overthrow of the Syrian government? Any conceivable alternative at this point would be certainly no better, and most likely, much worse. Certainly, the Christian community would be thoroughly devastated by a jihadist victory.

Saudi Arabia supported the Syrian overthrow, probably because the Syrian government was allied with Iran, Saudi’s biggest threat anywhere. But, the Obama administration dithered long enough to permit al-qaeda to take over the Syrian rebels, thoroughly disgusting the Saudis. So we have al-qaeda, a Muslim Brotherhood creature, supporting the overthrow of the Syrian government, allied with Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood to a certain extent.

I don’t see where it is in the interest of the US government or people to be involved in this situation in the slightest. Israel probably prefers the Syrian government to be toppled, but that is Israel’s problem and not that of the US.

The US needs to stay out of the business of the countries in the area, except for direct physical threats.

The US has been working on the whole Arab Spring plan for years. The Muslim Brotherhood succeeded in convincing the White House that peace will reign in the Middle East if it is ruled by islamic parties.
The US cooperated with the MB to realize their vision of a divided and weak ME under islamic rule.
The plan was working just fine until June 30, ARSH 2013…

There again is yet another example , by this jihadist suicide/homocide bombing, of the great amont of harm the is done in the mosque and madrasas by the Islamic clerics such as the imams and mullahs who thoroughly brainwash others into believing in the falsehood that the Quran teaches, 44:54. 55:56. 78:31., of a lust filled paradise with many virgins in it for the Muslim who diesin the jihad for the cause of Islam. Such false teachers as these imams and mullahs who very much indoctrnate this type of a doctrine/story a lust filled place with virgins into the beliefs of other people. For the Bible teaches about such men as these Islamic clerics “They speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh…” Second Peter 2:18. Furthermore , many a times a jihadist in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false teachings. For Jesus taught “Ye do err,not knowing the scriptures ,nor the power of God.For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are they given in marriage , but are asthe angles in heaven. ” Matthew 22;29,30. In contrast, to the Islamic pipedream of the jihadist in the Quranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1;16. Which reads ” For we have not followed cunningly devised fables ,when we made know unto you the power andcoming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [KJV]
